(CNN)The Department of Justice Inspector General's report on the start of FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election will say the probe was properly launched but lower-level employees made a series of mistakes. The investigation on the effort to obtain warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, is expected to conclude that the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation was properly predicated,

I hope not but it's what many expected.

Keep in mind this is from CNN so it is short on facts, long on suppositions. It is setting the narrative that fake news will be pushing until the actual report is released. Take a breath before panic sets in.

Indictments of low level officials are a good place to start. Then turn them.

Let's just ask who's leaking this drivel. We all know it wasn't launched properly. But then we all know there was no quid pro quo, but CNN and other "news" outlets still won't admit it. If Horowitz is allowing the leakage, then he stinks as much as the people behind this.

Sorry. If this thing turns into all the little guys get a note in their "files" it will be time to drain the swamp by any means possible. Re-elect our president on the understanding that he will FIRE the upper 3 levels of every department in HIS administration. Move every Department that does not need to be in DC OUT of DC. Spend the next 3 years finding somebody who is capable of it to succeed him.

The initial predicate was okay, but the actual implementation was bad then? This person had to alter a document and back-date an e-mail to make the dots connect "properly". So, they're saying there wasn't any deadline that needed to be met to meet the processing of the form? If so, why back-date the e-mail? Why alter documents? Does that mean you can have your tax preparer complete your forms, then you pay a few days late, but back-date the check to satisfy the deadline, will that be okay now? (not that I ever would try such a thing)

I hate this PC use of "mistake" to mean "crime". Yes, given that they got caught, it was certainly a mistake from their viewpoint to start an attempted coup, because they may end up in jail. But the acts themselves were not mistakes, they were crimes. When you break the law multiple times on purpose, it isn't a "series of mistakes", it's a crime spree.

Rush called this one earlier today when he stated that Horowitz is cut from the same cloth as the clown witnesses appearing before Congress all week. Nothing of any substance to be expected from a report that's been delayed for 6 months in the release cycle.

No way were these "mistakes." They were setting this up a long time BEFORE the election. Comey, Brennan and Clapper set the whole thing up. It was a very intricate plan to set up guys like Page and Papadopolous the Australian, the Honeypot, cash payments as phony "red flags" to justify the need for the FISA warrants. Altering the documents would have had to come after the initial plan had gotten underway. Obama would have had to know about the warrants. If this was on the up and up why didn't he warn the Trump campaign about these "bad guys"? He would know that you aren't supposed to use the Justice Department to spy on an opponents campaign. Why all of the "unmasking" of American citizens? Why was Samantha Power so involved in all of this, Susan Rice? Why did Comey LIE to the court and tell him that the "dossier" was verified when he knew it wasn't?? Why was Brennan waiting to hear from Comey that Trump had been told about it? Why did he run to CNN? They all were sure that Hillary (who PAID for the whole thing) would win and no one would ever know about this.

#6 I would think that low level agents would be part of the 99 percent "honest" heroes that make up the "rank and file" that Hannity refers to. Personally, I think the deep state is deeper than we think. In every agency. Fire the entire mass and start over. Never happen but it's nice to think about it. Any lawyer who does business in DC is part of the swamp.

This is CNN so tell us how does the IG need 500 pages to tell us that there really is no problem? You cannot believe a word from CNN or the NYT or the WAPO these days they are all trying to downplay this report. If it was the big nothingburger then there would be no reason for Durham's presence and his Grand Juries and indictments. Sorry I don't believe a word from the Lemon gang.

There you have it, the narrative is set. Do not expect much from the IG Report and the Durham Report may come too late. Wouldn’t that be a shame? The good guys had better get their rears in gear. No pressure, but the future of the Republic is all on the line. A prefect process meanings nothing if it’s too late.

A New Mexico city council voted to disregard Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s coronavirus lockdown measures and reopen businesses and schools. The Roswell City Council held an emergency session on Monday evening over the governor’s lockdown regulations, many of which have remained in place since the outbreak of the coronavirus in the United States in March. The council had voted in July not to enforce the governor’s orders, leaving all enforcement actions up to the state police.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters.

But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
